My house is a bloody toddler-fueled mess, so I tried to make the most of it...

Comp now closed for this month, and I'm off out to Paris in the morning to see Ian so I'll remind him he needs to do a shortlist when I see him

I love this, matey

I'm here, I'm here. Should be sleeping but I'm on YakYak instead .

Okay, shortlist - how many do I have to choose? Actually, forget that, I'm choosing 2.

Firstly thanks to everyone who took part. I realise that perhaps it wasn't the 'sexiest' of subjects but hell - I needed (need) some help Next time I'm choosing scantily clad models

Right, Ekendrick number one on the shortlist with the shot below. Well exposed. Beautiful, warm ambience to the room. Nice composition and that wooden floor looks damn sexy.



Secondly WiteWulf. I like the light in this shot. It looks nice and soft to the point of me wanting to use it for a portrait. I'd have preferred a slightly longer shutter speed to bring in a little more of the shadow areas but perhaps a little mystery adds to the intrigue of the room a little. To quote something that I'll be using in tomorrows workshop and often put into practice with my portrait work - 'if you want a photo to me more interesting, don't light all of it.' I nicked that from someone else (can't remember who) but it's often in my head when I'm shooting.



Thanks again to everyone who took part. Take it away Rik!

I'd have voted for this if it was short-listed.

Nah. About 50 cars short of realism looking at my living room and a few dinosaurs....
